New Barbie Reveal Confirms How Big A Miracle The $1.4 Billion Movie Was, But Makes Barbie 2 Even Harder To Pull Off

A reveal from Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach confirms just how impressive a feat Greta Gerwig’s movie was, but also shows the potential problems with doing a sequel. Barbie is the highest grossing movie of 2023 at the time of writing, having made just over $1.4 billion at the box office – a record that seems unlikely to be broken in the remainder of the year. Given its box office success and critical acclaim (with the movie likely to be a big contender at the Oscars 2024), there’s a very strong chance Barbie 2 is going to happen.
